Ebola outbreak spreads in the west of DRC

Amid jubilation over the end of the Ebola outbreak in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo there is rising concern over a separate outbreak unfolding in the west.

There is a vaccine for Ebola and so far 12,000 people have been vaccinated in the western region of the country.

Dr Michel Yao - the World Health Organization's head of Ebola - told Newsday what problems the authorities are facing in trying to contain the disease.
